The Deep Frontier

With a real quick turnaround, there wasn't much chance to do that much for "The Deep Frontier" by The Rifter #70 By Palladium Books.  An extensive vehicle & colony creation article, which I must admit had nothing like what I just drew for it in it!  Well, save the description of domed underwater colonies.

I actually went through Rifts: New Navy as well, looking to see if anyone had done something like this - but no!  No mecha-mermaids.  Of course, I show it to Wayne, the editor, and he assumes it's a Cybernetic lower body prosthesis.  My idea was that it was a power armor suit for a mermaid!  Because.. you know.. Rifts! (The bubble helm is actually for storing water that had been filtered in case she has to go through a potentially toxic environment.) Another person who'd seen it without the fish & whale, as it appears in the book (yeah, to sell this better, I went back and added details.)  Thought it was happening in space!  I guess everyone had a different interpretation. ^_^
